Epic Iran

It's the biggest exhibition of Iranian arts and culture in the UK. London's V&A Museum has brought together hundreds of artefacts showcasing one of the world's great civilisations - from 5,000 years ago to the present day. BBC Persian's arts reporter Maryam Erfan meets the principal curators and presents highlights of artistic mastery from Iran's Ancient, Islamic and Modern periods. From sculpture, ceramics and carpets, to textiles, photography and film, this is the last chance to see the exhibits before they are returned to lenders from art collections across the world.
